You might also be able to get a full version of windows using the software from an older PC. Right, it could even be a Windows 7, rather that Windows 10. GUI stuff is fully compatible. There are lots of old licenses from dead machines people re-sell on ebay. MS frowns on this, but AFAIK it is legal, at least in the EU it likely is. P.S. If you want to support 32-bit Windows as well, you will need GNAT Pro or else stick with a very old GNAT GPL edition. The old GNAT GPL is just fine, unless you wanted newer Ada 2012 toys... -- Regards, Dmitry A. Kazakov http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de
